Grant Description

The EPA cooperative agreement with the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), an entity of the World Health Organization located in Lyon, France, supports the IARC Monograph Programme.

The IARC Monographs on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans are an international consensus approach to carcinogenic hazard identification and constitute the World Health Organization's evolving encyclopedia on environmental causes of human cancer.

The IARC Monographs serve to assist national and international authorities throughout the world in making risk assessments and in formulating risk management strategies relating to environmental causation of human cancer.
